Great
Women Scientists in the World Who are Unknown and Unfamous...
The stigma about women in science persists, but each of the women in
this list has directly contributed to the lexicon of modern life.
1. Emmy Noether:
Emmy Noether is cited by Einstein and his
contemporaries as the Athena of math, and a woman without whom modern mathematics and its teaching
would be fundamentally different. Basically she is a German
Mathematician..
Noether is responsible for abstract algebra. She completely
rewrote the books on so many mathematical concepts that the adjective
Noetherian is found in several different concentrations within mathematics. Her
theorem, aptly dubbed “Noether’s Theorem,” yields fundamental laws such as the
conservation of linear momentum and the conservation of energy. Even today,
Noether’s work is used in the study of black holes, objects that were still
science fiction for decades after her death.
work without credit. Because of her intellectual generosity, she is honorarily listed as a
coauthor of contemporary math articles—often in fields that have only a cursory
affiliation with her work.
2. Ada King, Countess of Lovelace:
It would be over a century before anyone recognized her notes for what they were, and Lovelace for what she was: the world’s first computer programmer. In 1953, as modern computer science was still in its larval stages, Lovelace’s notes were republished as homage to her contributions and to the progress made in the field.
